GMEC’s RN Refresher Package is designed to aid RN’s who have been out of practice for any length of time, sharpen their skills and get caught upon the newest protocols and practices being used in the workplace today. The package contains the following courses:

AHA’s ECG Arrhythmia Interpretation and Pharmacology course is excellent for individuals contemplating ACLS Certification or those who must or wish to supplement their training. This is a one-day course that provides the necessary knowledge needed to interpret and treat Cardiac Arrhythmisa, basic electrophysiology, normal ECG measurements, basic arrhythmias, basic ACLS drugs, usage and routes of administration during cardiovascular emergencies, how to integrate basic drug pharmacology into ACLS algorithms, 12 Lead, and Cardiac Conduction. GMEC also provides a set of simulated Mega Code scenarios in which students perform real-time ECG interpretation and drug intervention similar to what is found in an actual ACLS Mega Code test.

AHA’s ACLS Update course has been updated to reflect new science in the 2015 American Heart Association Guidelines Update for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care. This course focuses on patient resuscitation in and out of a hospital setting. GMEC’s ACLS course is a LOW-STRESS, hands-on experience taught by veteran instructors in a state of the art facility utilizing the most-up-to-date equipment and techniques.

Management of Assaultive Behavior(MAB) also known as AB-508 violence prevention course is designed for individuals working within healthcare and emergency medical services fields. This course is AB-508 and SB1299 compliant with the new regulation that requires hospitals to implement a Workplace Violence Prevention Program. This 4-hour course covers both the theory, regulations, and psychology of patients in dangerous situations, prevention, and de-escalation tactics, and basic defense and methods of protection should the need arise to manage assaultive behavior.

This is a long course modeled after common healthcare professional work shifts. GMEC believes that our daily curriculum and break/lunch structure fosters an enriched academic learning environment to effectively retain the knowledge conveyed during those days. We strive to maintain a positive atmosphere that is encouraged by the welcome and constructive contributions of our students and highly qualified instructors.

To ensure students feel comfortable during testing, safety issues and possible complications are covered prior to examination. Practical testing on each other is required on the last day of class for LVNs, and is optional for RNs. A proxy may be brought in your place if the student cannot have a live stick performed for whatever reason.

Regulations:

The state of California requires each LVN student to perform 3 live venipunctures in addition to multiple fingers sticks on each other.

Proxy: If you are unable to participate in the live testing portion on the last day of the course (being stuck 3 times for any reason), you MUST bring a proxy to be tested on in your place, or for you to test on directly. A Proxy must be 18 or older and in good health. They will be required to sign a waiver form prior to being stuck.

If you cannot be stuck and you do not have access to a proxy, you will not be able to participate in the live stick portion of the course, which will result in non-certification. Please understand this is a State requirement for complete certification.

Students must wear closed-toed shoes or they will not be allowed in class.

Our primary goal is to provide the highest quality of instruction and education to each of our students, and to help ensure the safety of their future patients.

Reschedule, No Show, and Cancellation and Refund Policies

It is the students’ responsibility to notify GMEC by email or phone that they cannot make the class.

The Reschedule Policy allows students to reschedule their course one time at no cost or be placed on a To Be Determined roster with a one year limit from the time of original course registration. Rescheduling must be completed at least 72 hours prior to the start of the class. Subsequent rescheduling will incur a $20 processing fee. No refunds are available after rescheduling and the amount paid remains as a credit.

The No Show Policy refers to students who have paid for a course and do not call ahead to reschedule, cancel, or request a refund prior to the class. A student who does not contact GMEC to cancel their course or does not show up for the course will forfeit all fees paid. No Shows do not qualify for a refund or a reschedule. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding this policy.

The Cancellation and Refund Policy states that students may cancel a course up to 72 hours prior to the start date. A $20 fee will be charged for the class that was canceled. Refund requests will be honored when made prior to 72 hours of the course start time. Within 72 hours of course date, any payments made are not refundable.

Refunds will be processed within 5 to 7 working days from the time we received the notification of a class will be cancelled. A check will be mailed for the refund.

GMEC strives to ensure every option is explored before rescheduling or cancelling a scheduled class. We do not make the decision to cancel classes lightly and do our best to take every precaution we have available to us to prevent taking such an action. However, should backup instructors be unavailable to teach a scheduled class, advanced notice will always be attempted. Should advanced notice be impossible, in the unlikely case of a cancellation or rescheduling, GMEC will honor each student's credit and will reschedule the class within a reasonable time. GMEC is not responsible for any loss of revenue, wages, hotel or travel expenses, or damages resulting from a canceled or rescheduled class.

Notification process if class is cancelled: Participant will be notified by email as quickly as possible.
